I may have maxed out all of the upgrades. Great game!

How does your game fit the theme?
In the game, you continuously repeat the cycle of life in three phases—child, adult, and elder—because each time you die and are reborn you earn skill points to upgrade your race’s attributes. Additionally, another core mechanic involves looping by spinning around the trunk. These two mechanics are essential to the gameplay experience.

If you mean the resolution, I’ve seen that it causes problems on screens with more pixels than 1920x1080 (which is what I use).
Regarding the field of view, the game’s upgrade system allows you to expand it during gameplay. I know at first it may seem too little, but it’s designed to make upgrading it feel satisfying and liberating.
I’m sending you a photo so you can see how the resolution should look—or at least how I see it—in case I can luckily help you solve it.
I understand that by power-ups you mean the upgrades for health, speed, and field of view, right? Basically, you eat bananas to age, and when you die, you’re granted a soul, which is the currency used to unlock new levels of each upgrade. I’m not sure if that’s what you were referring to, but if you didn’t get to try it, I recommend playing it again with that in mind—if you already liked the game, you’ll enjoy it even more. Thanks for playing it :)
Have you ever seen a blue monkey climbing a 200-meter palm tree? Haha.
But seriously, thanks a lot for the suggestions! About the soul counter, I actually like the idea of showing it more subtly with the graves. As for the bar for the next sacrifice, I just felt it would be unnecessary extra information, since in the end you’ll end up eating all the bananas anyway.
And about the palm tree… I won’t lie, I did think about it, but I decided to prioritize gameplay over consistency. Or do you think it’d be better to collect bananas while dodging… even more bananas? ;)
I hate when people tell me their age and I feel so old j/k j/k.
This is seriously impressive.
Read. Even non-gaming stuff. Malcolm Gladwell, Drive - book about motivation. Atomic Habits and bunch of other pop psych stuff about psychology. You never know where you might find interesting ideas, approaches, or philosophies to apply in your games.
